The Cyprus Friendship Programme held an intercommunal student camp between 22 and 29 July, in Kormakitis. Through a wide-ranging programme, participating students had the opportunity to address difficult issues of the past and share their vision of how they see Cyprus in the future.
The camp took place in the Maronite community for the first time and students followed trainings on the island’s two main languages, Greek and Turkish. They also attended interactive workshops on addressing stereotypes and developing a better understanding on diversity and identity.
The history of Cyprus and dealing with its controversies was one of the most interesting parts of the camp, with sessions including personal reflections from relatives of missing persons.
Students visited sites of ancient and cultural heritage, like Soloi and the Skouriotissa mine. They were also given a brief history of negotiations on the Cyprus issue and were called to imagine the future of Cyprus.
